I've just downloaded the puppy live CD image (v1.0.4), set my Pc to boot from the CD, and set it off.

It boots from the CD, does a load of white text ending with "done installing, standby for reboot" at which point it reboots and repeats the process!

Blatently this isn't supposed to happen, and it's also rewritten my bootloader AND copied it's contents to the HDD so that interestingly now that I've taken te Cd out and am booting from the harddisk the exact same thing happens!

What's the crack??

I don't think so.

Ok now when I reboot from the hard disk it asks me to log-in! WTF is my username and password?

LMAO - aren't live CD's supposed to run off the CD? Isn't that the whole point?

Respectfully, I think there is something you are not telling us. Something you omitted in your two posts. Nobody is going to figure this out, unless you fill in the blanks. The reason why is - Puppy doesn't work that way.

Did you use the md5sum to check if your downloaded iso was intact or corrupted.

Could you supply the specifications of your machine i.e. the make & model, how much RAM it has, the details of the hard drive, partitions and installed operating systems, video details, what peripherals are attached, CDROM, DVD and we will try to figure out WTF happened.
